We stayed in Aranyak for 3 days in 3rd week of February. A beautiful property of independent cottages shielded by trees in a sprawling wooded campus. An ideal place to be at peace with nature away from frantic city life. The rooms are of good size with a walk in closet, a huge bathroom with an attached open to sky bath. Buffet Lunch, dinner and breakfast was included. The spreads were not over the top but tasty, wholesome AND not spicy- just the thing that is needed. It was our 30th Anniversary. They arranged for a beautiful outdoor dinner for us beside a bonfire, without any request from our end. It was a beautiful gesture. It will not be fair on part if we do not mention the attention and kindness shown by Mr. Rishi Bhatt and Sunil Sharma from the day we got in touch with them till we left. Thankyou very much.

Aranyak resort is the highest recommonded resort if you are visiting Bandhavgarh. Though this property is in high demand we booked it through a smooth process by just calling their contact number. At check-in were greeted by Mr Rishi who is already famous as a gorgeous host at this wild destination. Satish briefed us about the property and safari. The resort serves delious food every time. During our stay we enjoyed the food a lot.
Aranyak is comparatively a new property and it is very well maintained, right from the bathroom fittings to dinning room furniture everything is very well kept. My recommondation to all who are planning to visit Bandhavgarh.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Is a true 4 Star resort, is very near to the buffer area of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve.
We stayed in room no. 129 from 19th February 2020 till 23rd February 2020. The rooms are bit small but nice and bathrooms were large, but could be better arrange like a shower cubical would have a better option.
The chef is from Taj so the food was very testy and do serve verity of daily options. Both during lunch and dinner very testy chicken dish were served
The resort is very good option to do safari, they will give packed breakfast, lunch if required. The service is also good and prompt. We also had a good bonfire party. Our Tour operator
Mr Suneel Yaday (+91 94249 31455) did all the arrangement for us, he is also Safari Drive. An expert driver who knows where exactly to take the jeep so that you can have a great picture of the Tiger
I would like to stay in this resort next time I visit Bandhavgarh

I've recently traveled to Bandhavgarh along with my family and obviously safety and hygiene was my top-most concerns, but I must say, our stay at Aranyak Resort was amazing, the place is beautiful with a touch of wilderness and it is simply huge. We stayed in the family room and it was comfortable and we were provided with 2 King Size Beds. Also, kudos to the staff, they literally greeted us every single time we crossed any one of them and they were open to our special requests for food and beverages. I am glad I chose this place for our stay. The only drawback was there's no Wi-Fi in the rooms, it is only available in the office on request and being close to forest, most mobile service providers do not have proper signals which in a way is also a blessing if you really want to enjoy your time with family/friends without getting disturbed by phone calls, although Jio works fine. Special mention to Sunil Sharma and Satish, who went out of their way to help us our have a comfortable stay and get more out of this trip.

Awesome atmosphere, lovely rooms along with tasty food and service Great place for the finest wildlife experience Aranyak is 10/10 for me...the hospitality, Property, Greenery food every thing is just up to the mark. Special thanks to Mr. Rishi (thank you for putting extra effort on arranging cake for my husband's birthday and helping in booking the safari) Mr. Anuraag and all the frontend and backend people in the management for making our stay pleasant, Mr. Milan from the restaurant is very humble and make sure you eat well.. every staff is polite. On arrival they serves welcome drink, check the temperature and oxygen level (follow COVID protocol) We enjoyed all three meals in the restaurant, as there are no other dhaba or restaurants near by and it was a good decision in terms of hygiene and taste, the food is amazing special thanks to the chef and the staffs of the restaurant. Property will give you the feel of village and jungle stay, the only issue was Airtel network in the rooms apart from this everything was perfectly beautiful.

Staying at Aranyak was a lovely experience. It is a sprawling property at Bandhavgarh with 20 cottages. The ambience is fantastic with greenery all round . A morning walk within the hotel premises is an exhilarating experience. The hotel offers both single suites (individual cottages) and Twin Cottages. The rooms are excellent and spacious. The staff are very courteous and were always there to cater to all out needs. The smile on their faces will liven up your day! All sanitization protocols were followed , the rooms , the linen and the public areas were very well maintained. The dining hall has a fascinating decor. The hotel's own kitchen garden provides seasonal veggies ! The swimming pool was lovely and there is a Spa on the premises as well.
All in all it was excellent stay and I would highly recommend this property !

During our recent Bandhavgarh trip, we stayed at Aranyak resort. Here we find all COVID precautionary measures were followed strictly at all levels. Staying at Aranyak means living close to nature and give homely feeling. Management of Mr. Rishi Bhatt is unmatched. He is having in-depth understanding of hospitality and at the same time his wildlife and star-gazing knowledge is amazing. Here we also met Mr. Sunil Sharma, a through gentleman and highly experienced person in hospitality sector. Food quality is excellent. Those who don't want to have meal at restaurant, may use room-service. Here we have did morning walk with birding in campus, enjoyed the organic farming. Overall experience was memorable and we recommend this wildlife resort for Bandhavgarh visitors.

Rooms and bathrooms were very well lit. Usually doesn't happen in these areas. I have been to lots of jungle areas all around India, and that is my firsthand experience. The director, Mr. Rishi Bhatt gave personal attention to all the guests and made sure they are felt comfortable. We got a good surprise on the last day and kids got their demanded icecream from 25 kms away and they loved it. These kind of special treatments make a great difference. Food was extremely satisfying. This was one of the very few times that we had zero issues with food. In fact taste, choice of dishes etc. all were perfect for us. Plus Mr. Bhatt arranged for the RT-PCR tests to us and amde sure we got the reports on time for the flight back to Mumbai. All in all - perfect holiday for the family.
We had just a couple of things we thought the hotel could improve upon. 1) Room Cleaning - But I have been told that during normal times when staff is full, they are doing great. 2) the drapes and sofa cover could use a little change of design which would be more inviting and warm.
Both these cons are not even something I feel needs mentioning, honestly.

this was my second visit to Aranyak and a very pleasent one again. Right from communication with manager Mr Rishi it was effortless. The resort was very considerate to carryforward my booking deposit which could not be used due to lockdown. Mr Saurabh was kind enough to keep dining room open for dinner on arrival when we reached by late by 11 pm on arrival day. However the highlight of the resort was the dining staff and manager Mr Surendra( pardon me if i take his name wrong). The staff was very polite, attentive, and always on the toes to make the patrons have a good meal. The food items were good in taste. No items were repeated in my 4 days of stay. manager would ask us and pack a good breakfast for earling morning safaris as per our taste. After every safari the staff would come to you with water and enquire if we had a good time and sighted the tigers. they were more dissappointed than us if we did not had a tiger sighting !! Rooms were good enough with a mini refrigerator and nice comfortable beeding. AC cooling was adequate. Outdoor bathroom was the most enjoyable of all especially after every safari. pool was nice clean and good sized. the staff did have masks and followed social distancing as much as possible. when i left at 7 am in morning Mr Rishi was there to see me off and enquire if my stay was good. For me the highlight was the staff and excellent service. truly worth the money. Will come again.

Dear Mr Uday, Let me take the opportunity to thank you on behalf of all my staff. It was a long awaited trip that you completed in October, as the last one was cancelled because of Covid 19 rise. We are so happy that this one went well with lots of tiger sighting and a pleasant stay. At Aranyak we are taught to work for your satisfaction only, you will find the same level of service quality each time you visit. See you in summers. Regards
